Coastline Vista 海岸線遠景
2023 / Watercolor on Paper 水彩 紙本 / 28 × 38 cm
South of Point Lobos, the massive Santa Lucia Mountain Range rises dramatically out of the Pacific Ocean. California’s iconic and picturesque Highway 1 is carved into the mountainside, though it is often closed because of frequent landslides. Coastline Vista was painted along Highway 1, at one of the few places where I could easily park my car and observe the ocean waves breaking along the rocky coast.
羅伯斯角以南，雄偉的聖露西亞山脈從太平洋中戲劇性地拔地而起。加州代表性且如畫般的一號公路於山腰蜿蜒，儘管因頻繁土石流而經常關閉。本作創作於一號公路邊，也是少數幾個我能輕鬆停車，觀察海浪拍擊岩岸的地方之一。
October Afternoon at Bird Island 鳥島的十月午後
2023 / Watercolor on Paper 水彩 紙本 / 28 × 38 cm
Bird Island is in Point Lobos, a nature preserve along California’s Pacific Coast. During the Spring and Summer, it is a rookery for pelicans and cormorants. In the Fall the birds have migrated, leaving behind the rocky island, devoid of vegetation and covered in guano. October Afternoon at Bird Island depicts the glare of the golden afternoon light. Looking westward, I like to imagine a map that shows the Pacific Rim, with California and Taiwan connected to each other.
鳥島坐落於羅伯斯角（Point Lobos），一個加州太平洋沿岸的自然保護區。在春夏季之間，這裡是鵜鶘和鸕鶿的繁殖地；到了秋天，鳥兒已然遷徙，徒留沒有植被、覆有鳥糞的岩石島嶼。《鳥島的十月午後》描繪出金黃色午後陽光的絢爛。向西望去，我喜歡想像出一幅地圖，其中環太平洋地區，加州和臺灣彼此相連。
Vista to Bird Island 鳥島遠景
2023 / Watercolor on Paper 水彩 紙本 / 28 × 38 cm
Bird Island is in Point Lobos, a nature preserve along California’s Pacific Coast. Vista to Bird Island depicts a rookery for pelicans and cormorants. On the island, these ground-nesting birds are protected from land-based predators. Viewed from a distance, this guano-covered island has a spectral quality.
鳥島坐落於羅伯斯角（Point Lobos），一個加州太平洋沿岸的自然保護區。畫作描繪出鵜鶘和鸕鶿的繁殖地。在島上，這些地面築巢的鳥類受到保護，免於陸地掠食者的威脅。從遠處看，這座被鳥糞覆蓋的島嶼帶有一種幽靈般的特質。
Backyard Poppies 後院罌粟
2025 / Watercolor on Paper 水彩 紙本 / 28 × 38 cm
Eschscholzia californica, is a botanical native to California. In the late 1700s, Spanish colonists called the poppy “copa de oro,” which translates in English to “cup of gold.” In the mid-1800s, California was a part of the United States of America, and they became known as “California Poppy.” They are nyctinastic, closing at night and on rainy days. Backyard Poppies depicts the California Poppies that have naturalized in my home garden. Because of the rainy weather, I looked out the window to paint the poppies’ buds, flowers, and seedpods.
花菱草是加州的原生植物，18 世紀末，西班牙殖民者稱這種罌粟為「copa de oro」，意思是「金杯」。19 世紀中期，加州加入美國後，此植物又被稱為「加州罌粟」，具有夜合性，會在夜間和雨天閉合。《後院罌粟》描繪的是在我家花園中已歸化的加州罌粟，在雨天透過窗戶所描繪的罌粟花苞、花朵及果莢。
